8/19/26 Morton Mill Road Traffic Calming Meeting 2

This Metro Nashville Network meeting held on August 19, 2026, focused on the Morton Mill Road traffic calming project as part of INDOT's neighborhood street traffic calming program. The discussion centered on the proposed chicane-based design to reduce vehicle speeds on Morton Mill Road, replacing previously considered speed cushions due to community feedback. The design includes four evenly spaced chicanes to horizontally deflect traffic and slow vehicles, with considerations for bike lanes and improved pedestrian access to the nearby greenway. The meeting also addressed potential additions such as a formal crosswalk and sidewalk connections, though these are generally outside the program's scope and may require separate funding or requests through Hub Nashville. The project will proceed to a mail-in voting process requiring a two-thirds majority approval from affected residents before construction can be scheduled.
